1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is.

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: On the air.

4
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 3: Monday. We played a story that had been covered from

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: the channel thirteen ABC thirteen locally in Houston about the

6
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 3: Katie Market Days. These markets, many many communities do this

7
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: kind of a community market, but the Old Town market

8
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: business owners in Old Town Katie have once a month

9
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: market days. And the allegation by the woman who puts

10
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: it on was it the city he was trying to

11
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: take it from her, And we played the story, we

12
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: talked about it. I had someone on yesterday named Lynn

13
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: Sullivan who said, well, you're not getting the full story.

14
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: That lady is actually charging the vendors a lot. She's

15
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 3: not doing things for the kids. There are a lot

16
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: of people that are unhappy. And I said that if

17
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: Betsy Proctor reaches out to us, which she did, we

18
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: would have her on the air and we will do that.

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 3: I did get an email yesterday that I thought was

20
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: kind of interesting from Baker Hill Ranch and it says,

21
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: your caller referred to downtown Katie, but you should know

22
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 3: it's actually Old Town Katie and like Old Town Spring,

23
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: it's only about maybe six blocks. There was some older

24
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: antique shops there already in a couple of smaller boutique

25
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: type businesses. When they renovated, they built a new city

26
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: hall and yes, a civic center, but it's not a

27
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: big civic center by any means. I think it's mostly

28
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: common conference rooms, no place for a concert, probably not

29
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: more than six thousand square feet. There is a newly

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: built restaurant and a beer garden type place. There's lots

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: of outdoor area for flea markets and concerts. And yes,

32
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: the bathrooms are nice and clean. Sounded good to me.

33
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: You know who I think is headed in that direction

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: is old Town Rosenberg, where our friends what is it?

35
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: A place back in time? What's the place that we like?

36
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: The little soda fountain place. Crockett and I and a

37
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: buddy of mine who's a DPS trooper went there on

38
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: the day that he met us up there, the day

39
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: that Crockett got his driver's license, and we had a

40
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: phosphate and we had a root beer float another time. Yeah,

41
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: I mean, and that little area is booming. And when

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: I say booming, it's not you know, the Vegas Strip,

43
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: but there's a little activity. People are really really liking

44
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: the old towns and the old town Square and the

45
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: owner operated business and that sort of stuff. Betsy proctory

46
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: is our guest. Welcome Betsy, Betsy.

47
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: She might put us on mute. Yeah, bat finger to mute,

48
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: but it happened.

49
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: Hello, can you hear me?

50
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: Betsy?

51
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: What were you doing? I think I must have hit

52
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: mute by accident. I'm here a lot, all right, So

53
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: sorry about that.

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: So the story that was covered by Channel thirteen, why

55
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: don't you take about five minutes. I want to interrupt

56
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: you and kind of talk us through the history of

57
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: this from your perspective and what's going on there, and

58
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 3: then I'll have lots of questions.

59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: Okay. So I opened my antique store originally nineteen ninety

60
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: three and then moved to Second Street in nineteen ninety four,

61
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: which is the location that I'm currently at now. Has

62
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: been there for thirty years myself. And there was another

63
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: antique store at the time called Second Street Antiques, and

64
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: the owner of that store had a big grassy area,

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: which is where that restaurant is now that you're talking about.

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: And her and I we're trying to figure out, we're brainstorming,

67
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: trying to figure out how are we going to get

68
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: people into town because it's like Deadsville. And we thought, well,

69
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: we'll try a market. So we started the market in

70
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety four, the two of us, and we charged

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: like twenty dollars. We had maybe ten booths, and that

72
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: went on for quite a few years. It started to grow,

73
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: It started to get pretty you know, bigger, maybe twenty booths.

74
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 4: We started using one of the streets, and then we realized, yeah,

75
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 4: we're going to need to get police protection to close

76
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: the streets. So we went to city council and got

77
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: authorized to close the streets so that we were worried

78
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: about pedestrians somebody getting hit or something. And that continued

79
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 4: to grow. It got it got really, you know, pretty big,

80
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: and basically the market has become pretty very popular. I'm

81
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: really surprised the outpouring of love and how much everybody's

82
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: talking about how much they're going to miss it. I

83
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: guess I didn't really realize that. But the city this year,

84
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: I requested to have the streets closed, as I have

85
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: done for the last I don't know, seventeen years or so,

86
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: and they didn't put it on the agenda. And they

87
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: didn't put it on the agenda, so I finally contacted

88
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: the city and said, hey, guys, because I mean, I

89
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: know everybody in the city. You know, well, it's gotten

90
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: along really well for the last thirty years. So I

91
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: was kind of surprised when they said that they wanted

92
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: to have a meeting with me and have an MoU,

93
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: a memorandum of understanding, which is like a handshake basically,

94
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: whereas I would make sure that everything was clean, which

95
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: I'd always do. We always pick up the trash. We

96
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 4: have our own trash receptacles in the back and all that,

97
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 4: but so they basically wanted me to sign the MoU.

98
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: I went in for the meeting. Basically it was just like,

99
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 4: they'll give me barricades, I'll take care of trash, we'll

100
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: just be good friends, and off we go. And when

101
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: I went in to sign the MoU, they didn't bring

102
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: the MoU up. They started talking about when was I

103
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: going to retire, and was really kind of taken aback

104
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: because I hadn't thought about that. And I said, well,

105
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: you know, basically, I hadn't thought about retiring. I mean,

106
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: I'm not thirty, but I still have a few years

107
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: left in me. And then they basically said that what

108
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: they wanted was they wanted me to work the market

109
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: for one year, train or guide their staff as to

110
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: how to run the market, and at the end of

111
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: the year in twenty twenty six, I would give them

112
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 4: all of my intellectual property, my DBA website, maps, everything,

113
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 4: and for that they would give me fifteen thousand dollars. Well,

114
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: they said they would send me an MoU. When they

115
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: sent me the MoU, it wasn't ANU. It was a

116
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 4: binding contract, and I said, you know, no, I can't

117
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: sign this. I had a lawyer look at it. He said,

118
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 4: don't sign this, So I didn't. So I wrote to

119
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: the city and I told them that I couldn't sign

120
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: that MoU. I mean that contract. Plus, it wasn't an MoU,

121
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: it was actually a contract, so that's a little bit different,

122
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: quite a bit different. They basically I sent them an

123
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: email and then I didn't hear from them again. And

124
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: then I noticed that they on their city council meeting

125
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: they had required a funds for an event assistant for

126
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: the lady that that was doing their events now, and

127
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: that's basically hiring somebody to do the job that I've

128
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: done for the last thirty years for free. So now

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: they're going to pay taxpayer funds to do the market,

130
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 4: except I'm not giving them my information, so they're going

131
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: to have to start it from the ground up and

132
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: all the negative press that they've gotten, and my vendors

133
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: just don't want to do it with the city because

134
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: the city doesn't really have great reputation for pulling off

135
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: very good events because they don't really advertise very much.

136
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: So anyway, that basically in a nutshell. I went to

137
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: city We were going to go to city council meeting

138
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: three weeks ago, but they changed the time from six

139
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: the usual time from six thirty to five thirty, so

140
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: we missed it. When I went to the city council

141
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 4: meeting on Monday, and both my husband and myself spoke,

142
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: but unfortunately the audio and the video didn't work when

143
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: we spoke, but it did work after we finished speaking.

144
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 4: They fixed it. So that's basically it in a nutshell.

145
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: That's where we are. I'm not, you know, not having

146
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: the market anymore. We had the last market on last

147
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: week and it was it was really good.

148
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: Betsy Proctor pulled down Katie the market days where we

149
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: are coming up.

150
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: This is the Michael Berry Show.

151
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 5: To me, to you.

152
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: So in my peer group, it's just how we are.

153
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: If Karen Carpenter.

154
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: Comes up, there's gonna be a reference to anorexia.

155
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: It just is.

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: That's how people know of her. It's really too bad

157
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: because or musical prowess.

158
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: She and her brother really did accomplish something incredible. And

159
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: you know the amazing thing.

160
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: He was the genius. He was the musical savant. She wasn't.

161
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: He played every instrument. He was the star of growing up.

162
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: That wasn't her thing. But boy, those vocals. I mean,

163
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm a dude. I don't normally like women lead singers,

164
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 3: but I have to just stand in awe of her voice.

165
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: And who does it is mesmerized. It's absolutely mesmerized. Betsy Procter,

166
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 3: take thirty seconds and tell me what exactly your shop do,

167
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: because does it says antiques, but it's really kind of

168
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 3: movie posters and stuff.

169
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Well, I started out with just antiques and artwork.

170
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 4: I do artwork as well. It morphed when my husband

171
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: retired from the oil industry. He started getting into the posters,

172
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 4: and so then we added on to our building. We

173
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: extended it into a poster gallery at the back and

174
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: that's really what our main business is now. I do

175
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: the artwork, retouching and posters if there's any restoration, and

176
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: he does the restoration, and then we sell posters and records.

177
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: We have huge amount of records. But we also have

178
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 4: The front of the shop is all antiques. I have

179
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 4: five dealers in there that put their antiques in there,

180
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: and we're like a little co op kind of family. Oh,

181
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: probably about three thousand, and you.

182
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: Have five other shops in there with you. Now, are

183
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: they staffing those, Well, they're just they are.

184
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're my employees most well, not all of them

185
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: are employees. A couple of them are employees as well. Yeah,

186
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 4: they've put their antiques in their booths. There's five booths

187
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: in there, different people, and some of them work, some

188
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 4: of them are on my staff, and some of them

189
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: just rent out the little space that don't work. It

190
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: says you got and there's also this yeah. Yeah, they

191
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: also are the ones that I hire them to help

192
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: me with the market, because you know, it's gotten so

193
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: big that I have to have staff to help me

194
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: run it. I can't do it by myself.

195
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: So we're heading into twenty twenty five and the Internet's

196
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: a powerful thing, and.

197
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 4: Yes it is.

198
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: You are competing in an old line business against you know,

199
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 3: like you've got vintage cameras, vintage costume, jewelry, vengeance.

200
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: How do you compete.

201
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 3: When someone can go online and buy something from New

202
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: York or LA or wherever else? How do you compete

203
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: because they have to come in to find you. I

204
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: got to think that that makes you. That's a challenge

205
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: you have to rise to every day.

206
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 4: Well, we do sell a lot of posters online, so

207
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 4: we are online. We have a big online presence as well,

208
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: not for the antiques so much because I don't like

209
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: mailing glass posters. We can mail, but we have a

210
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: big website and original Vintage Movie Posters is our website,

211
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: and we do sales and restoration. We have people that

212
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 4: mail us a posters from all over the world, although

213
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: we've toned that down lately because we've gotten too busy

214
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: and we just don't have enough staff to get people's

215
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: orders quick enough. So we're just doing local restoration jobs

216
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: and then a few old customers that we've done for years,

217
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: we still do them.

218
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: But when you say restoration jobs, so somebody has it

219
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: all gone with the win movie poster and they bring

220
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: it in and you bring it back to life.

221
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: So what we do is we put them on linen,

222
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: which is an archival method of restoration. It's a stretched canvas.

223
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: We put japan paper with wheat starts glue. We roll

224
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: the poster out. As the poster dries, all the fold

225
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: lines because they were always sent folded, they flatten out.

226
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: And then if there's any artwork missing or patches missing.

227
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: I've redone people's noses in their eyes and all kinds

228
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: of things. Then we I go in and do the

229
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: artwork to fill in whatever's missing and paint. Some people

230
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: are in print. Some people want that done and some

231
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: people just want to leave it in its original form.

232
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 4: So we do both. But yeah, yes we frame as well.

233
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, they hang them on the wall or you

234
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 4: can you can hang them on the wall without framing them.

235
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: Better to have them than a frame just because it's

236
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: you know, protect them from sunlight. But yeah, it's a

237
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: it's an archival method of poster restoration.

238
00:13:52,600 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: What of your overall sales walk out the door versus Internet,

239
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: I have.

240
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: To say Internet is probably more I would think.

241
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, is it about fifty to fifty Maybe maybe the

242
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 6: Internet maybe more mainly because the posters that we sell

243
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 6: online are about high dollar posters we do.

244
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 4: You know, they're they're they can be pretty valuable with

245
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: Star Wars posters and stuff. You can't imagine how collectible

246
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: those are with the generation that, yeah, decorating their meteor.

247
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all about who's making money right now. I

248
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: saw last week that that the red Slippers from Dorothy

249
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: from Oz sold for twenty eight million dollars.

250
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: It's crazy, good, greasy.

251
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: It's it's where people.

252
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: Are, their lifespan and how much money they have. You know,

253
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: you got to wait for the generation that grew up

254
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: with that. But you know it's you raise an interesting

255
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: question because we think of the Internet as being evil

256
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: because the brick and mortars like you can't compete with

257
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 3: the Internet. But everybody I know that does what you

258
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: do is the Internet is what allowed them to survive.

259
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: One of our show sponsors is Laboucherie on Kirkandall in Spring,

260
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: and you know, you think of them as this. You know,

261
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: they do the traduccans and they do the stuffed chickens

262
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: and de bone and a massive part of their business

263
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: is Cajunmeats dot com. So so they got people walking

264
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: in the door and buying, but then they're sending it

265
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: out the back. My buddy at canvaspress dot com they

266
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: print onto a vinyl or a whatever and you put

267
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: it on the wall. But now you know, ninety percent

268
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: of their business is not local. It's Internet. I think

269
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: that's just what businesses are going to have to do.

270
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: The Internet could.

271
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: Actually keep a brick and mortar in business.

272
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 4: In this case, well, an actual fact the Facebook and Marketplace.

273
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: I post a bunch of stuff on Marketplace for all

274
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: my vendors, and we get a lot of people that

275
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: drive in from you know, League city, from far away.

276
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 4: They've seen something on Marketplace, So we use it for

277
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: the actual shop as well. And for you know, I've

278
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: got a lady that sells ya DROs and we've got

279
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 4: people that do you know, different types of glassware, and

280
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: so I'll post pretty much every pretty much every day.

281
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: Sometimes when I have time, I try and post every

282
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: day something from one of my vendors to try and

283
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: help them promote self. And it works. We get people in, oh,

284
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: you know, what time are you open, I'm coming and

285
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: they come and they buy stuff. So we do use

286
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 4: the internet for our store. The only way you're going

287
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: to survive is if you get online. You have to.

288
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: I mean there's just no way, no way around it,

289
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: you can, right.

290
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: Challenge is, I don't know what you pay for rent,

291
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: but it can't be cheap. You know, you got that overhead,

292
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 3: the rental overhead and the utilities and all that that

293
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: has to be met at the beginning. Whereas if you're

294
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: working out of a home or whatever, you don't have that,

295
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: and that's a challenge.

296
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: Right. Well, we did buy the building and thirty years ago.

297
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Oh well for you, we own.

298
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: The building, so we're good on the rent.

299
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: Thirty seconds or last. Because I'm up against a break,

300
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: Betsy Proctor, Okay, is the is the old town own

301
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: Katie Market days run by you done?

302
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 4: It looks like it, but you don't want it. I

303
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 4: don't want Well, no, my vendors are just besides themselves.

304
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 4: I mean, the amount of emails and Facebook posts I've got,

305
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 4: people are really upset. I had no idea that that

306
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: people love the market as much as they do, but

307
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 4: I guess they do. We have a thirty five thousand

308
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 4: followers on Facebook and just a real outpouring of they

309
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 4: just like the market. So yeah, I would I would

310
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 4: like it to be able to come back. Perhaps in May,

311
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 4: maybe they'll vote everybody out and we'll get a new

312
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: administration and we can bring it back. But that's probably

313
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: going to be the only way we're going to get

314
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 4: to do it.

315
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: Betsy Procter, thanks for being our guest. And I will

316
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 3: say to everyone at a number of people who said

317
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: Bessie Procter's are screaming liberal, that's why she won't come

318
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: on the show. And I addressed that with her. I said, listen, lady,

319
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 3: I don't care who you vote for for president. The

320
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: role of as it pertains to citizens and small businesses

321
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: is of great interest to me, and I want to

322
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 3: get those stories out there and tell those stories and

323
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: your politics aside.

324
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: That's what we do.

325
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 3: Here make Marco Berry's Show. When you stop and think

326
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 3: about the fact that we know Smokey Robinson as the smooth,

327
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: silky voice, as the front of the Miracles that would

328
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: go on and have a hit without him, because Barry

329
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: Gordy's highest and best use for Smokey was identifying training talent.

330
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: We're talking about Smokey Robinson here.

331
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: We're not talking about some half whip when you think

332
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: about how earth shattering Motown was in its day, you

333
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: want to talk.

334
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: About Black pride.

335
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: Barry Gordy had the foresight to bring in not just

336
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 3: choreographers to teach his artists how to present with dance

337
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: in their routines.

338
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: He brought in stylists. He brought in.

339
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: People who taught physical presentation, posture, how to speak properly

340
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: in an interview. What he did was what an NFL team,

341
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: the best NFL team would do now for their Tom Brady.

342
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 3: And he was doing that at a time where that

343
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 3: wasn't done in the white world, much less to black world.

344
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it really is.

345
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: The story. It's incredible.

346
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 3: It was on this day in nineteen sixty one that

347
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: it all began to change. Motown Records would have their

348
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 3: first number one on the Hot one hundred.

349
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: And it wasn't with any of the artists you would expect.

350
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: It was the Marvelettes.

351
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: Please, mister Postman went to number one. There's just something

352
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: about that sound. I can hear the sound of Motown,

353
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: I can hear the sound of Stax Records with with

354
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: with our friend Steve Cropper and Otis Redding and and

355
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: Sam and Dave and just what's that Booker t and

356
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: the I mean? And then you hear Phil Spector's Wall

357
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: of Sound. You see the patterns and the greatness, and

358
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 3: we take it for granted. But there was a day

359
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: that there was no Marvelettes, and there was no hits Town,

360
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: there was no Motown. And then here's this guy that

361
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 3: has this vision and it morphs. I mean, to have

362
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 3: the vision to bring in people, to buy the clothes

363
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: and put them in them, to tell these these folks

364
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: who were coming from from little towns in Mississippi and

365
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: Alabama and Louisiana, all right, you're gonna have to learn

366
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: to stand like this and speak like this and look

367
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 3: like this and and you know, flutter your eyes and

368
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: do this and don't do this, and this is what

369
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: you say, and this is what you don't say. And

370
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: and then you it was a Hollandozer Holland You got

371
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: these groups over here who are writing the songs, and

372
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: then you got these people out here are recruiting these people.

373
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: It really is amazing.

374
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 3: If you know, when we talk about black history, the

375
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: people that get promoted as black history are Charlatan's and

376
00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 3: grifters and losers like Al Sharpton. There should be a

377
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: trumpet blown for a Barry Barry Gordy. I mean, we're

378
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: talking George Washington Carver stuff. I'm not kidding his influence

379
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: on American culture.

380
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: By what he did.

381
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just a question of talent. He was

382
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: running a machine of his building. Please, mister postman started

383
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: at all? Well, did you know if you rearrange the

384
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 3: letters of postman they get really angry. Last week, ABC

385
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 3: thirteen reported on the rampant mail theft in Houston by

386
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: post office employees. It starts to make sense now. The

387
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: post office employee charged with murdering a coworker at the

388
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 3: Missouri City processing facility. Oh he had been out on

389
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: a bond for assaulting a cop earlier this year. This

390
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: is the kind of people that they're hiring. It's why

391
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: the president of the Postal Police Officers Association says there

392
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: are our pockets within Houston where the mail is unsafe.

393
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: It's being stolen. Clip number eleven, please, mister Roeblists courtesy

Speaker 5: There's still activity today at this mall processing center in

396
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 5: Missouri City. But we're told operations were scaled back following

397
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 5: a deadly shooting last night involving two people.

398
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: I can't tell you that they were both employees of facility.

399
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 5: Missouri City Police and the US Postal Inspection Service responded

400
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: to reports of an active shooter around ten pm. We

401
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 5: had the sounds on damel Winnedelaki says he and others

402
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 5: initially thought a piece of machinery malfunctioned until an evacuation

403
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 5: was ordered. Sold me go out, go out like.

404
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 4: That, you know.

405
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: This afternoon, investigators identified the suspect as twenty four year

406
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 5: old Derek Lot of Humble. He's charged with murder and

407
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 5: is being held in the Fort Ben County Jail. We've

408
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 5: confirmed Lot was out on bond at the time of

409
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 5: last night shooting for the alleged to soil vult of

410
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 5: a peace officer earlier this year. Investigators say that coworker

411
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: he's accused of killing was thirty five year old Kevin J.

412
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Hines.

413
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: In a statement, uspis Acting Inspector in charge Mona Henderson said, quote,

414
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 5: this was a tragic and senseless act of violence. Our

415
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 5: employees deserve to feel safe when they come to work.

416
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 5: Postal inspectors are working tirelessly to ensure justice is served

417
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 5: on behalf of Kevin Hines, his family, and all of

418
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 5: the employees who work in this facility. It's a facility

419
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 5: we've been allowed inside previously following stories about mail delays.

420
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 5: The Postal Service has yet to respond to questions about

421
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 5: how this incident may or may not impact operations.

422
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: Hey, what's happening. Race has destroyed this country, or at

423
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 3: least what we knew of it. So a lot of

424
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: people don't want to hire black employees because they're afraid

425
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: that once you do hire a black employee, if you

426
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: don't promote them, you'll be sued. If they cause a

427
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: problem and you fire them, you'll be sued. Everything that happens,

428
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 3: you'll be sued and accused of being a racist. Better

429
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: just not to hire black employees, and that ends up

430
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: hurting black employees. That that's why you got to stop

431
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: that nonsense. So what ends up happening is people in

432
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 3: the private sector don't want to hire blacks, and so

433
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: what's left the government? So you put people in the

434
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: government who nobody wanted to hire on the outside.

435
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 1: It's a it's a mess. It's got to be fixed.

436
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: You're giving Michael Berry because you're a public Paul Revere

437
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: kind of ringing the warning though.

438
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: I even saw a commercial in one of the football games,

439
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: and this was the song Elbing commercial and it's a

440
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: woman named Olivia Dean who.

441
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 2: Sings it, and she's got that she's got a voice like, uh,

442
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: who is the black English lady?

443
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: Should a white husband?

444
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: He died of brain cancer at like thirty Uh not

445
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 3: from the Jeffers Karen Bailey Ray turn this up. This

446
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: woman has kind of a just kind of a Karen

447
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: Bailey Ray sound, And I thought, man, what a brilliant

448
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: choice of a song, because it's one of those songs

449
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: that a lot of young people won't know that this

450
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 3: is a remake of an old Sam Cook song. There

451
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: are certain there are certain songs that it's.

452
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: They're just so golden.

453
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: That a young kid there's a there there TikTok or

454
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: one of these sights, because people will send them to

455
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 3: me where they'll have a young black kid first listening

456
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: to Merle Haggard, or they'll have a little redneck kid

457
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: first listening to Marvin Gaye and they're just their mind

458
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: is just blown. I mean, hell, you do that with

459
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 3: lady Gaga. Their pipes are pretty impressive, but it's one

460
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 3: of those things that the first time you hear this song,

461
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: this arrangement is Sam Cook. And I heard it and

462
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 3: I was like, wait a second, that's an old Sam

463
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: Cook song. And I sat there for ten minutes, not

464
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: paying attention to what was on TV, thinking about, but

465
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 3: why wouldn't you just use the original Sam Cook because

466
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 3: it's so wonderful, And I thought, no, they've updated it,

467
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: They've sped it up, They've made it more modern in

468
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 3: a very subtle way, but it still has that kind

469
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 3: of timeless sound. So young people won't even know, oh,

470
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: because ll being consumers are probably thirty and below. When

471
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 3: I was in law school, when I started college, I

472
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: had a Jan Sport backpack maybe Jan Sport backpack. Jan

473
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 3: Sport was the only brand I knew of, and I

474
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 3: carried that backpack through college. Four years into law school

475
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 3: and my wife and I had a dear friend. She's

476
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: still our friend today. She lives in DC. She's a

477
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: high powered attorney there. Her name was Angela Holsey at

478
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 3: the time. Now it's Angela Wallet because she married a

479
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: fellow named a doctor named Brian Wallet, and he does

480
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: fibromiologia research at Johns Hopkins and she practices tax law

481
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 3: before the Supreme Court. Brilliant, brilliant lady. And she was

482
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 3: our best friend in the whole world. We just loved

483
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: the door, still do. And she bought us one year

484
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: at Christmas for me and Adita, she bought LLB backpack.

485
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: She had an ll BEING backpack that she'd had since

486
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: she'd started at Yale six years earlier because she'd gone

487
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: from there to work at the Heritage Foundation in DC.

488
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: And we have those backpacks to this day. And do

489
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: you know ramon that ll Bean If the zipper breaks

490
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: or there's a rip or whatever, you simply send that

491
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: to them with your name and address and they will

492
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: send you a brand newan. Yeah. There are two American companies.

493
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: I have not looked up their politics because I'm sure

494
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: they'll be awful. There are two American companies that I

495
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: think established that kind of brand that I've always kind

496
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: of liked, and so I steer clear of digging too deep.

497
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: And it's lands in in ll Bean kind of this

498
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: great American sort of you know, Maine, a state of Maine.

500
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,920

Speaker 3: We're talking about Motown. Sam Cook is what led to Motown.

505
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: It wasn't Motown, it was our stables. Just just just

506
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:29,600

507
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:41,080

508
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: just working till I wanted to say a big thank you.

Speaker 3: million dollars this year in partnership with our sister station

514
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: say a quick thank you to the folks who came

515
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: on board. This was our tenth and I said this

516
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: would be our last year to do this. We focus

517
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: on Camp Hope and I have my own family foundation

518
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: that we raise money to its end of year, so

519
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: I'll be making another contribution. We mostly fund Camp Hope

520
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: out of it, but we do. If you remember Off

521

Speaker 3: Serviller who was shot, raised over one hundred thousand dollars

522
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: for him. It gives me the opportunity to make a contribution.

523
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: It has to be tax deductible or it has to

524
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: be charitable on short notice. And some of you actually

525
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: contribute to our foundation, and we very much appreciate that.

526
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: I don't run it because I don't ever want anybody

527
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: to say I stole a pity from it. So Greater
